The one to watch is the video of the Breastroke...Amazing...39.63 1st in the heat and seventh overall. Her happiness is infectious.

9/11 Memorial in Grapevine Texas

This memorial to the airline pilots, flight attendants and passengers is just breathtaking. It is located directly behind the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport in Grapevine Texas. The girls enjoyed reading the names of the people who won't be forgotten.

Just Amazing !!

This shot took my breath away with the American Flag behind the statue.

Taekwondo Bliss....Sweet Break Mary Ashley !!

Probation is OVER! Mary broke her board last night at Taekwondo class. Her next testing will be for blue belt in July. She loves it so much.

Mary & Mimi ...Mary swam her fastest it...Papa thinks it's for the Bucee's t-shirt in has hands. But either was she was impressed with her swim.

Norchester ended their season in 4th place and all the team did well. Delynn is swimming in Red,White & Blue competition this weekend and Mary is glad it's over for her.

New Swimmers had a blast and made alot of practiced.

Girl Scout Weekend ...To Great Wolf Resort

Mary had a blast with her friends in the Wave Pool.

This is the indoor waterpark. Slides are in the back. The wave pool is to the right.

They look like they are having a BLAST.

This is the Great Wold Resort in Grapevine Texas. It is an indoor/outdoor waterpark hotel. It was a Girl Scout Cookie Bonus Trip and it was FUN !!! The waterslides are fast, the wave pool is relaxing, the rooms are comfortable and the best part NO SAND !!! Our room had a balcony which we saw fireworks from.

Is it still Monday?...It feels like it.

Busy, Busy, busy...School done, Girl Scouts done, Swim Team almost done ! Looking forward to summertime fun. Movies, Weddings, Stay-cations (Vacations from home), Pool parties, Library trips and getting things completed that during the school year where too time consuming to finish.

Just spent a weekend away with Girl Scout Friends...I am still tired but it's a good tired. I will post the weekend tomorrow (after I download the pictures tonight).

tbc...to be continued!

Summer Quest 2010 Invitational

All I can say is De'Lynn will be uncatchable if she ever learns to KICK THE WHOLE TIME...she is in the pool.
She did fantastic and improved on every stroke.

100 Free 1:13.09 8th place
100 IM (all four strokes) 1:23.50 11th place
50 Free 31.57 12th place
50 Breast 40.50 6th place
50 Back 39.64...This one shows as NS (not swimming) but that is because she swam before she was suppose to. (She added one second... NS no show...but I have pictures...oh well.
50 Fly 45.51 NOT her stroke this year. 13th place

....I am tired and I wasn't even in the pool.

Tonight...Taekwon-do Class...Mary will attempt her break again. This makes the 27th kick on the same break...it's not easy....To be continued...

You Go Girls !!!

2010 Swim Team Picture.

The season is going really well so far.

De'Lynn is in an invitational tonight & tomorrow....details to follow.

Mary added a few seconds ...however, her technique is improving.

I think the girls are more excited of their TANS.

And mom, dad, mimi & papa are enduring the HEAT at their meets for all the FUN! Keep up the good work girls.

Seussical the Musical...Mary as the blue fish w/tail.
